EXAMPLE 1: Amelia L.
This was a short but well-done video on how to use apostrophes for contractions, plurals, etc. I liked how the points were illustrated briefly but in interesting ways (for example, using alphabet soup). The rules were explained very clearly.

Example 2: Linda R.
This is a wonderfully creative site which has enriching ideas for students to create their own punctuation-filled dialogue reports. There is an assignment where the student must become an investigator and must choose 3 students to interview. This encourages a writer to use quotation marks to identify who said what, and how. It is a very clever assignment on using punctuation marks; the students would really enjoy this.
